I have an Epson Photo 1270.
It produces great prints from Gimp Print. The prints are indistinguishable for real photos. The 6 color mode is supported as well. I believe around 10 different quality options are offered.
The alignment, clean heads, and check ink level functions are supported in Linux as well.
I have tried using it via Paralallel and USB, the USB printing is much faster.
I have never had any need to install it under windows.
Congratulations to the Gimp Print team on a great job.
By the way my HP 895Cxi would only produce very poor images under Linux. Its prints were similar to a color dot matrix.
